SINGAPOREANS DETAINED IN MALAYSIA AS ‘ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS’ FOR NOT PAYING BRIBE

Two Singaporeans, understood to be cousins, were classified as ‘illegal immmigrants’ and detained for nine days in Malaysia.

Last Thursday, the pair were in the wrong lane at the JB checkpoint and found that the lane counter had no one serving it. When they were reversing out of the lane to re-enter a new one, customs officials intercepted their car.

The official had gestured that he wanted a bribe but the Singaporeans refused to pay. 

Because of their refusal to pay, they were then labelled illegal immigrants and taken to Pekan Nanak  and imprisoned for nine days. 

During this period, they were forced to sleep in the hallway and were only given very small portions of rice, cucumber and some fish. There was no hot water and the family could only send them instant noodles. 

It was not until the family paid a fine of 1 000 ringgit that the pair was released. Even then, they were forced to shave their heads before leaving.
…

They have since appointed a lawyer to sue the Malaysian Authorities over this matter.
